Description of the problem	Our jeep grand cherokee caught fire while sitting in the carport under our home unattended and unpowered on august 25 2018. The 2011 jeep grand cherokee was serviced by the spitzer chrysler jeep dealer in homestead florida on august 22 2018 for recall r71/nhtsa 15v-879 plus two other items. The vehicle was picked up late on friday august 24 and driven home where the vehicle remained parked until it caught fire the next morning around 1135. I had just walked past the car at around 1130 and everything was fine. By 1155 we noticed smoke coming from under our home and i rushed down to find a blazing inferno. I called 911 and immediately started fighting the fire to prevent my home from catching fire and burning down. Fire inspections were completed by the state fire marshall, usaa insurance fire inspector, fca chrysler fire inspector, and zurich insurance fire inspector. The recall and fire was caused by a faulty manufacturing and assembly process. Fca chrysler choose to deny any responsibility in building a defective vehicle and developing a recall which once applied made our vehicle more likely to catch fire. Our grand cherokee is not the only vehicle to catch fire after the recall was applied. A quick search on the internet will find others that have burned post recall. My insurance carrier relayed to me that one agent had advised a friend not the have the recall done as some cars were burning post recall. While fca chrysler is trying to place blame on the dealer who applied the recall the facts and other inspections do not support that conclusion. Fca chrysler has denied any responsibility and considers the case closed as they do not want to be faced with another 600,000 to 700,000 vehicle recall jeep grand cherokee or dodge durango vehicles covered under this recall. dtjb dtjb

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
